Impact: • <br /> Chief Zikmund will discuss the impact to life safety, firefighter safety, and civilian safety during <br /> his presentation. Additionally, information will be provided detailing the substantial insurance <br /> premium savings (47% to 87%) for sprinklered occupancies versus non-sprinklered occupancies, <br /> the cost of installing sprinklers in new construction versus existing, and the budgetary impact of <br /> fire sprinklers with respect to the operating and capital budget. <br /> Summary: <br /> The issue before the council and EDC is the 5,000 versus 2,000 threshold. The remainder of the <br /> code is intact, has been enforced, and continues to be enforced. Changing the threshold requires <br /> evaluation of more government regulation (perceived or real) against the cost savings and life <br /> safety issues that sprinklers are purported to address. As part of the discussion information will <br /> be presented detailing financing of sprinkler systems in budgetary hardship cases. <br /> Prepared by Nyle Zikmund <br /> July 17, 1996 <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br />
